Scrooged

Happy Holidays, friends! There's certainly no shortage of contenders when we're trying to figure out which movie to cover this time of year, but Richard Donner's darkly comedic riff on A Christmas Carol ultimately won out. These days it's a staple of the season, so we were a little surprised to discover that wasn't always the case.

Scrooged received a somewhat mixed reception when it was released in 1988 and the production wasn't exactly smooth sailing either. Join us we go through all the behind-the-scenes turmoil and then try to decide if that has any effect on how the movie plays three decades later.
